Not yet, but I'm looking forward to pictures and comments from your side when you get them.

Did you get one Magnoli and one MyCustomTailor as a comparison of sorts? Or just spreading the wealth.

Well, They are two of the suits I've been mooning over since last spring. I've been selling off some of the low end items of my gun and militaria collection to pump some inventory into my business lately, and these purchases are just kind of a treat for parting with some of my old toys.....as if I ever needed a reason to buy new toys.lol

 

[Jerekson]

wow, both of those suits are awesome...

Be sure to get lots of pictures when they arrive...

Wow, Rooster, you've certainly made my hubby, Harry Pierpont, jealous!
Looking forward to seeing you dressed to the nines in your new suits.
Now Harry and I will definitely have to connect with you for dinner somewhere when you get the suits. Look out Quad-Cities - TWO stylish men with fedoras!

Why did you tightarse on the vest instead of going the whole FL Menjou Monty...????[huh] [huh] :eusa_doh: :eusa_doh:

What was the cost of the full ensemble in Irish linen?

It's incredibly hot and humid here in the midwest, that's why I went with out the vest. The reality is I'll stand out like a sore thumb wearing an ivory linen suit around here in the summer anyway, nobody is likely to notice if I have a vest on or not when eveybody else is wearing a muscle shirt ,cargo shorts and sandals lol
I agonized over wether to include the vest or not. My practical side won out. I think it's about $70 more, the money really wasn't the issue. If when I get it and it really needs the vest I might well get it made. The bigest choice was the color, ivory was a last minute choice, I was going to go with petrol. I paid $300 , so I'll assume with the vest the price would have been around $370.
If this all works out well and these people really know what they're doing I'll give them a little more business. I just bought a 1941 dated dbl breasted jacket that fits me like it was made for me. I'd like to send it to these folks and have it reproduced with a pair of pants.
